Why EcoStar?
Marc Ellison
V.P. of Operations
Save fuel expenses and
maintenance labor by
automatically eliminating
unnecessary idling
Each pilot vehicle in
Sacramento saved an average
of 113 gallons of fuel & 2100lbs
of CO2 over the course of 12
months*
*without optional thermistor
Facts
Every
hour of idle time uses
0.61 gallons of fuel
Every
gallon of gas
produces 19lbs of CO2
 Every
hour of idling is equal
to 25 miles driven.
Facts
Vehicle
mfg. are now
paying more attention
to idle time vs. miles
driven when it comes
to warranty claims
1.5 hrs/day x 25 miles x 5 days x 50 weeks =
9,375 additional miles of driving
Add up all of the extra maintenance costs
Facts
You waste more fuel if you idle
for more than 5 seconds than
restarting a warm engine.
 More states, counties, & cities
are adding anti-idling regulations
every year.
 You do not have to impact
passenger comfort
 WA has 5th highest fuel prices in
the country. (AAA report)

Features
Fully
automatic
Electrical accessories continue to
function with engine off.
Low battery voltage will auto restart.
Shut down inhibit input.
(e.g. A/C “on” or Lift in “use”)
Optional thermistor to restart if vehicle

How it Works
Put vehicle in Park
 If safety & operational
conditions are met, engine turns
off, battery power still available
 Engine auto restarts:

On Low battery voltage
 On Hot or Cold Temperature
 Brake pedal pressed

Safety Conditions Must Be Met
Before Shutdown
Transmission
in Park (vehicle not
moving)
Engine at normal operating temp.
 Service brake not applied
Hood Closed
Safety Conditions Must Be Met
Before Shutdown Cont.
Battery
must have sufficient charge
Engine speed less than 1100 RPM
(High Idle)
Outside temperature above 32ºF &
below 100ºF (Temps can be
changed)

The All Important ROI
 Faster

CA has Eco-Star as optional – est. 4-5 mos.

vary based on your settings
Wider ranges, more savings
 Higher
the fuel cost the faster the ROI
